Dose-escalation of CD19/CD22/BCMA CAR‑T for relapsed or refractory B‑cell non‑Hodgkin lymphoma

A Dose Escalating Study of CD19/CD22/BCMA Three Targets Autologous Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (CAR-T) Cell Therapy in Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory B Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma(NHL)

Early Phase 1 Interventional Shanghai Cell Therapy Group Co.,Ltd · NCT06446128

This trial will try a CAR‑T therapy that targets CD19, CD22, and BCMA in people with relapsed or refractory B‑cell non‑Hodgkin lymphoma to find a safe dose.

What this trial studies

This is a single‑arm, open‑label, investigator‑initiated dose‑escalation study of autologous CAR‑T cells directed against CD19, CD22, and BCMA in patients with relapsed or refractory B‑cell non‑Hodgkin lymphoma. The primary goal is to define safety, tolerability, and the maximum tolerated dose; secondary objectives include pharmacokinetics, in vivo CAR‑T persistence, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy. Enrolled patients undergo screening, apheresis to collect cells, lymphodepletion chemotherapy, infusion of the engineered CAR‑T product on Day 0, and DLT monitoring through Day 28 followed by longer term follow-up. The protocol uses sequential dose cohorts to escalate dosing while monitoring for treatment‑related toxicities.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults with relapsed or refractory B‑cell non‑Hodgkin lymphoma (including DLBCL, PMBCL, transformed follicular lymphoma, and high‑grade B‑cell lymphomas) who meet protocol medical and organ‑function criteria and are candidates for autologous CAR‑T manufacturing may be eligible.

Not a fit: Patients with non‑B‑cell lymphomas, uncontrolled infections, severe organ dysfunction, active uncontrolled CNS disease, or who cannot undergo leukapheresis or travel to the study center are unlikely to benefit from participation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could offer an additional therapy that induces remissions in patients whose B‑cell NHL has failed prior treatments.

How similar studies have performed: CD19‑directed CAR‑T therapies have produced durable remissions in many relapsed/refractory B‑cell lymphomas, while multi‑antigen CAR‑T approaches (including CD22 or BCMA co‑targets) are more experimental with limited but growing clinical data.
